Eric Andersen Violets Of Dawn written by Eric Andersen

D G D G D G

Take me to the night I'm tippin topsy turvy turning upside down

D G D

Hold me tight and whisper what you wish

G D

For there is no one here around

G A

Oh you may sing song me sweet smiles

D G A

Regardless of the city's careless frown

D G

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

D G D G

Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn

D G

In blindful wonderments enchantments

D G D G D

You can lift my wings softly to fly

D G D

Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out

G D

Into the pockets of my night

G A D G

Whirling twirling puppy warm before the flashing cloaks of darkness

A

gone

D G

Come see the no colors fade blazing

D G D G

Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn

D G

Some prince charming I'll be

D G D G

On Two white steeds to bring you diamond crowns

D G

And climb your tower sleeping beauty

D G D

Before you ever know I've left the ground

G A D G A

You can wear a Cinderella Snowhite Alice Wonderland gown

D G

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

D G D G

Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn

D G D

But if I seem to wander off in dream like looks

G D G

Please let me settle slowly

D G D

It's only me just staring out at you

G D

A seeming stranger speaking holy

G A D G A

I don't mean to wake you up it's only lonliness just coming on

D G D

So let the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays

G D G

Of Violets Of Dawn

D G

Like shadows bursting into mist

D G D G

Behind the echoes of this nonsense song

D G

It's just chacing whispering trail

D G D

Of secret steps see them laughing on

G A D G A

There's magic in the sleepiness of waking to a childish sounding yawn

D G

Come watch the no colors fade blazing

D G D G D

Into pedal sprays of Violets of Dawn
